Details

The page at http://www.altonbrown.com/pages/shop.html has '•' in the page
title. This shows as a bullet in the title shown in the tab, but in the title at
the top of the browser window, it shows a '?'. Regardless of what's correct,
they should at least show the same thing.

This is in Linux build 2001111506 on FreeBSD 4.4.
wfm with win2k build 2001110603.

I see a nice bullet in the title bar of the window.

It may work in Windows, but it doesn't work on any of several Unix machines I've
tried it on.

Modifying summary to reflect the true bug, and confirming.

Of note, • is an invalid entity.  (All entity numbers between 128 and 159
are invalid).  See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html#h-24.4 for
a brief explanation.

For a bullet, you want either • or •

The original reporter is correct though, they should display consistently in the
window title and tab title.

This isn't a dupe of bug 9449, which is windows-specific and fixed. This bug is
Linux-specific and AFAIK not fixed.

Duping to the right bug.

Well, 9449 was not Windows-specific and the bug was fixed on Linux before it's
fixed on Windows. See bug 9449 comment #31, bug 9449 comment #39, bug 9449
comment #40. If somebody still sees the problem on Linux, that's just because
the font specified for the window title bar can't cover that particular
character. Or the window manager in use is rather old one that doesn't
understand _NET_WM_* extension  .
